Alpinestars Web Gore-Tex Boots - Black Comfortable great fit. gore-tex still to be tested.
Alpinestars Monteira Drystar XF Textile Jacket - Dark Grey / Tar Grey / Bright Red The main arm zips leak in heavy rain and the wrist closures are rubbish. Careful on sizing as well- it’s quite small.
Alpinestars Nucleon KR-Celli Back Protector Insert - Transparent Smoke Light , fits jacket well , you don’t know it’s there. Excellent
Alpinestars Chrome Ignition Hoodie - Black / Red Fluo very comfortable . excellent material
Alpinestars J-6 Waterproof Shoe - Brown I must have tried on at least 10 pairs of riding shoes whilst at the Southampton store. These were the first pair I tried and I kept comparing all the others to these. For me, these are just right.
Alpinestars Troop-Air Pro Textile Jacket - Black / Black I bought a Sml, fit was good around the shoulders under arms and chest, it’s well made and I have no doubt it will vent well in this heatwave, you can add single or divided chest protection which is great, I preferred the latter. A small is 40, but I needed a 38 to get a fully fitted feel, especially around the forearms and wrist, it’s just too baggy, if Alpinestars had their zipped cuffs they normally do on leathers, that would have been perfect!
Much better than thumb hoops! Nice choice of colours, I wasn’t convinced on the belt hoops either, a short zip would have been better. The 38 size would have been perfect for my small waist but they are rare to find, I’ve always had AS as it fits me best. The armour is Nucleon level 2 and you don’t feel it when on not as flexible as plasma, I’m old school and did wonder if this would hold up in a spill. I added the plasma level 2 full back protector, it fitted and contoured my back really well, also added the plasma level 1 divided chest protection, hands down super comfortable and you do feel better protected, I know why some manufacturers forget about chest protection. So I’m waiting to try a 38, SBS…. What can I say, blimey! They are just the dogs walnuts, great prices and their postal service for peeps in the middle of no where is 5Stars for SBS, 4 for the troop air pro, due to the points raised.
